Owners and managers of animal shelters recognize the difficulty or near impossibility of maintaining natural sod for the animals under their care at shelters.

Synthetic Turf for Shelters, Kennels, and Daycares
Cleaning is what keeps a shared surface pleasant, and the routine is simple once it is set. See how to clean turf you share with pets.
The same considerations apply at home on a smaller scale, from drainage to odor control. We cover those in artificial grass and pets.
Whether you’re an owner or manager of a pet shelter, Lawn Kings, Inc. is ready to provide solutions for your operation. For example, we took the time to train and guide a group of Boy Scouts on how to perform a quality synthetic grass installation at the Castaic Animal Care Center. Our own crew did a very high quality and professional artificial turf installation at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter where we installed over 6,000 square feet for that project. Homeowners too appreciate the turf we install for use by their pets and the quality installation that goes along with it. Call us today for a FREE Estimate by Lawn Kings, Inc. today!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do animal shelters use artificial turf?
Animal shelters use artificial turf because kennel runs destroy natural grass within weeks and turn to mud. Synthetic turf gives a surface that drains, cleans down, and survives constant traffic from many animals. Odor is managed through drainage and zeolite based infill rather than by replacing the surface. We have installed in more than 27 animal shelters and doggy daycares around Los Angeles County.
Is artificial turf hygienic for kennels and dog runs?
Artificial turf is hygienic in kennel use when it is installed to drain and specified with the right infill. Waste is removed from the surface, the area is rinsed, and liquid passes through the backing and base rather than sitting in soil. There is no mud to carry into buildings and no bare earth for parasites. Drainage design does most of the work here.
What turf is best for a pet facility?
A pet facility needs a shorter, denser turf that stands up to constant traffic, a base built for fast drainage, and an odor controlling infill such as zeolite. Edge fixing matters more than in a home lawn because many animals test the perimeter. Specification for a commercial pet space is genuinely different from a residential lawn, so it is worth discussing the use before choosing a product.
